down on my knees again, sweaty hands folded on my bed
praying to a power that may not exist
this time, like every time before
"am I being heard?"
or am I just nineteen and crazy
exchanging words with the air
I resent for filling my lungs
and keeping me alive

down on my knees again, sweaty hands folded on my bed
praying to a power that may not exist
this time, like every time before
"am I being heard?"
or am I just nineteen and crazy
exchanging words with the air
I resent for filling my lungs
and keeping me alive
